Bail latch
NOTE
The bail latch may be attached to either the top or the bottom of the mini-GBIC.
FIGURE 59
Grasping the bail latch, pull the copper or fiber optic module out of the port.
4. Store the copper or fiber optic module in a safe, static-free place or in an anti-static bag.
5. Install a new copper or fiber optic module in the port. For information about performing this task,
refer to
Installing a new Copper or fiber optic module
on page 94.
Installing a new Copper or fiber optic module
You must install a fiber optic module (SFP, SFP+, or XFP transceiver) in each Gigabit Ethernet and
10-Gigabit Ethernet fiber port you want to use.
You can install a new fiber optic module in a port while the device is powered on and running.
Before installing one of these modules into the port, obtain an ESD wrist strap with a plug for
connection to a metal surface.
DANGER
All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
Perform the following tasks to install a fiber optic module.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as
an equipment rack) to act as ground.
2. Remove the new module from its protective packaging.
3. Gently insert the fiber optic module into the port until the module clicks into place. The module is
keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.
Cabling a fiber optic module
Follow the steps given below to cable a fiber optic module
1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for
future use.
2. Before cabling a fiber optic module, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning the cable connectors
and the port connectors. Refer to
Fiber optic connector cleaning
on page 95.
